Nikoderiko feels like old platforming side-scrollers with plenty of enemies and collectables to find. This game almost feels like an audition to work on a larger franchise... if not, it's a hell of a first entry. I'd love to see more Nikoderiko in the future! The game is well polished and extra challenges can be found in the secrets and the achievements. If you enjoy older games in this style, I highly recommend picking it up.

Amazing game for any platformer fan. The mini-games surpass DK by a longshot. The music is excellent. Play this is if you're looking to scratch your yooka-laylee and donkey kong itch.

Just tried this game before work - man, it's JUST what I've been looking for! I love Crash and DKTF, but wanted something (with a high skill ceiling) for my Steam Deck. Just tried the hard mode, my word... Excited to have this as my main platform game going forward. The colours on the OLED pop beautiful! Steam deck recommendation, set fullscreen and resolution to 1150x720 (or whatever it is), then FSR sharpness up to 5 in the SD side menu, its gorgeous!

Feels and plays like a "Modern Donkey Kong Country Light" version. You can clearly see where the inspiration came from. Most of the time it plays like a classic 2D jump and run, but they've sprinkled here and there some 3D sections which is quit a cool idea and adds some depth. It's not a hard game at all and there is even a easy mode. There is also a COOP mode therefore it could be a good title to play with children. As I said, it reminded me a lot to the Donkey Kong Country series even if it's not as good as but still worth a try!

Its alright. Just by glimpsing at the game you get what it is going for. This is just straight up DKC Tropical Freeze X Crash 4. It is as blatant as it can get. That inherently is not a bad thing, just makes the game lack an identity. I do like how it transitions from 2D to 3D, really makes the game pop in its visuals and gives it some verity. However my major issue is how the overall game feels to play. They want to keep the movement snappy like crash but also have the weight like modern DK. Which makes it hard to judge how your jump goes especially with the animal buddies. Mix that with some odd collision bugs and hitboxes makes for a somewhat annoying experience. The game isn't inherently that difficult just very finicky. Personally I would recommend other DKC-likes before this, but if you feel like you want a quick romp through a Crash/DKC inspired game, you could go with much worse
